The Ohio State University, Fisher College of Business

Since 1916, The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business has produced exceptional leaders who meet the challenges of a changing global business environment through creative and effective solutions.

In 1993, the college received a gift from alumnus Max M. Fisher, a leading industrialist, philanthropist and public servant. Mr. Fisher's desire to see his alma mater become one of the premier management institutions in the country spearheaded the construction of a state-of-the-art, six-building campus. In recognition of his commitment, the college was named the Max M. Fisher College of Business.

Since then, the college has undergone a corporate turnaround; narrowing the focus of its programs, recruiting leading faculty, placing a renewed emphasis on experiential learning, and offering a wide range of global opportunities. Faculty and staff have also established new scholarship and fellowship opportunities, strengthened their commitment to diversity, and created innovative academic and corporate partnerships.

As a result, Fisher's reputation continues to rise and is reflected in rankings which place the college among top business schools in the nation at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The initiatives outlined here reflect college-wide priorities designed to shape the fundamental orientation of business education at The Ohio State University. This is part of a continuing process of assessing, forming, redesigning, implementing, and reassessing our activities. While specific actions may change with time, the commitment to overarching goals remains constant.

Uniquely Prepared Students: Based on academic fundamentals and personalization of experience is a cornerstone in our graduate program. Fisher is committed to emulating that experience for undergraduate students as well.

Action-based Learning: Action-based learning will continue to be a critical component of our curriculum, creating new depths of experience for our students through partnerships.

Eliminating Boundaries - Building Best Business Practices: Eliminating boundaries and building best business practices between the college and the business community embraces The Ohio State University’s “one voice, one university” approach to building partnerships.

Turning Ideas into Business: Turning ideas into business is key to stimulating economic growth and development in central Ohio and the Midwest, and Fisher is leading the way in inserting the principles of business in the technology commercialization process.
